Radical Elementary story one, part two

This school really is weird! Inside it looks like a practical school, with a expensive touch to it. And everyone is walking around with their backpacks on their heads like hats, their books are piled up on their backpacks, and everyone was carrying a red pepper! The first person I saw I asked politely, " Excuse me, but why does everyone have a red peppers?" Then he said politely, " They're for our teachers, you must be new here, I've never seen you before." I nodded. " Well," he said, " my name is John, I've been here sense kindergarten, I know the school like the back of my hand. This year, I have Mrs. Bologna, who do you have?" "I have Mrs. Bologna too." I said. " Okay, " said John, " How about we get you a pepper, there's a vending machine of veggies just over there". After John got my pepper for Mrs. Bologna, we walked and talked to class, he explained about how the founder of the school was a crazy artist who eventually got help at a hospital, but the kids loved the school the way it was and went on strike to keep it as a school, most kids tackled national government agents to keep them from reporting to a bulldozer team. The history of the school was fascinating, maybe this place isn't so bad after all.

Emma, I'm intrigued to know more about the Radical Elementary School, and look forward to your summer writing. Your blog is in great colors, but I'm having trouble reading it against the black background. My screen is all the way up to max brightness. By the way, I'm Beth, signing in under Nate's account. Congrats on your new blog!
